no matter why you call out dear, bring you the news and current affairs. ah me more than 150 people are unaccounted for and a us building collapse with bad weather hampering search and rescue efforts. ah madison, this is all your life and also coming up a warning from the taliban after the u. s. it says it'll keep 650 troops in afghanistan, facing decades in prison. former police officer doug shelven is to be sentenced for

the murder of george lloyd, a place of sanctuary, destroyed biotech nato. in the czech republic, we listened why the rare event could become more common ah, discontinuing for a 159 people still unaccounted for a day after an apartment building collapsed in the u. s. at least 4 people are dead, but that number is expected to rise as rescuers search through the rubble. miami in florida and still not clear what caused the 40 year old building to come down, but officials say it was undergoing roof construction and other repairs. i want to be very clear about the numbers. are there very fluid? i will continue to update you as, as we have them. but we have confirmed for deaths. the search and rescue team worked throughout the night. and it was

a very active scene from above and below. and we also brought heavy machinery onto the site to assist with the operation. ok, let's go to cream. had out who's close to that collapse to building in miami kareem, we're just seeing more pictures now from the devastation that has happened at the apartment building the scale, as we've talked about before, is extraordinary. talk us through the rescue effort that is going on at the moment . but the rescue efforts have been complicated by bad weather as they were yesterday. we had rain on and off here and it's just been very difficult. i mean, we're hearing, we're hearing stories from emergency workers about shifts and the rubble underneath their feet. there's been fires that have, have been set a blaze because of the, the rubber that they've had to put out. and all of these,

these factors are complicating the search and rescue efforts. their officials are hopeful that there's still some survivors that they can, that are trapped in the records that they'll be able to pull out. but so far, they've only recovered the dead bodies. unfortunately, they were 3 recovered overnight, bringing the total discount to the poor, but that figure is expected to rise. obviously, the biggest question that people are going to be asking is how could something like this happen? the, the rescue effort is clearly the priority. but there has been some speculation about some roof repair works that were going on. is there any more coming out about what might be behind all of this? yeah, definitely. there was some roof for going on. the building is about 40 years old and it was undergoing gets 40 year re certification process so that there were some repairs that needed to be made to the roof. and there are many residents in the

building who have complained about maintenance work being delayed, and problems with the cracks in the wall. and the building foundation may be being shaky. and there were concerns that exactly something like this could, could transpire. obviously we still don't know what the, what the cause of the collapse was. yesterday, officials did talk about it being a question of structural engineering, but we have no confirmation just yet. and there has been some reporting as well on a phenomenon called subsidence. and that's when the ground beneath these build, these essentially sinks and the building sink deeper into the ground. and this building, in particular, the one behind me that collapse was noticed to have been thinking at a rate of about 2 millimeters per day. back in the ninety's, and it's expected that that phenomenon has continued over the years. but we can't be certain whether or not that directly caused the collapse or was

a contributing factor to it. and of course, mean, meanwhile, the rescue if it's going, we can see paid live pictures. now from there, some of the last few teams trying to pick their way very carefully through the, the extraordinary amount of rubble that has been, that has collapsed onto the ground. cutting, thank you very much indeed, cutting me how to talking to us and close to that building in miami or the united states will keep around 650 of its troops in afghanistan after the rest of its forces are withdrawn. most of the more than 4000 us soldiers have been leaving. i've got a son in recent months. it's part of a pledge by president joe biden to withdraw troops by september. the 11th in an exclusive interview with all just as a some of the binge of aid taliban spokesman. so hell, shocking said if us, troops do remain, it will be in breach of previous agreements. this us troops stationed 650 of their stay behind. are the taliban going to attack us troops now?

yes or no. if they stay here, then i think it is a kind kind of continuation off the patient and that they have why lated and a we have for you right? to act on earlier us. secretary state antony blank and acknowledged a tax. and afghan forces were increasing, and washington's assessing, if plans for peace are realistic. we're looking very carefully at the situation on the ground in afghanistan. and we're also looking very hard at whether the taliban is at all serious about a peaceful resolution to the conflict. we can you to be engaged on the diplomacy, but actions that would try to take the, the country by force or of course totally inconsistent with finding a peaceful resolution for us police officer dank children is due to be sentenced in

the coming hours for the murder of george floyd in minneapolis, shelven was convicted in april after kneeling on floyd's neck for 9 and a half minutes or crime. prosecutors say shocked the nation. it was found guilty of 2nd and 3rd degree murder and 2nd degree manslaughter. but it will only be sentenced on the most serious charge with no previous criminal record state guidelines recommend a 12 and a half years sentence. but the maximum penalty in minnesota is 40 years. prosecutors have asked for a 30 year sentence starting aggravating factors, including the presence of children at the scene and abuse of authority. but show vans defense team will be looking for leniency it once probation arguing show and didn't intend to kill floyd. john henry has more from outside court in minneapolis . this is a city that, of course, went up in flames after this incident happen in may of 2020, and security here has been an issue,

but you can see that they've taken down the security that we were accustomed to during the trial here, where there were fences all around the national guard was here. there doesn't seem to be that kind of concern right now, but the entire city is watching this trial. as is much of the united states, derek open faces a maximum of 40 years in prison. among the things the judge will consider is whether that offended feels a sense of remorse, whether he's taken responsibility for his action, and in the trial, he did not do so at all. today. there is the opportunity for victim impact statement. and for derek, showed himself to speak to the judge, but he's in a difficult position because he still faces federal charges as do the other 3 officers involved for violating the civil rights of george floyd. and that means if he incriminate himself here in this statement that that could be used against him in the federal trial. ultimately, all 3 charges, although he was convicted of 2nd degree, murder, 3rd degree,

murder and manslaughter. those, the sentences will be served at the same time under minnesota guidelines. so it's really only the top charge, 2nd degree murder that really matters here. so when the judge hands down that sentence, it might sound a little complicated, but really it is likely that just that 2nd degree, murder sentence is the one that counts and that's the one people are estimating between 20 and 30 years. but of course, his attorneys are asking for time, served and probation police officers in chile has rescued 27 people trapped in a blizzard with temperatures plummeted to minus 20 degrees celsius. the offices height for 4 hours more than 5000 meters above sea level to reach the group that included 2 children had been started in the vehicle off of a sudden storm. 27 are set to be in good health. rescue workers in the czech

republic, searching for survivors after the tornado and stones damaged buildings and overturned cars in the southeast. at least 3 people dead on hundreds have been injured, bought a burden, manly reports a place of sanctuary among buildings destroyed by a ret, nato. it was filmed by eye witnesses before it hit towns and villages in the south east of the czech republic. often by ripping a pass through the southern moravia region, people were left in shock. of all of our belongings are scattered everywhere. the tornado smashed all the windows and took everything. many people are clearing. what used to be ruth, from the front patios of their homes, somewhat completely ripped off to send to send up. so it was like a war zone. everything was spinning around and flying and there it took our roof away. okay, could be open. so we'd be done,

the house of the roof is missing. the windows are broken, water got inside but nothing. we can't live there. now my experts say the tornado reached wind speeds of more than 330 kilometers an hour, making it the most powerful on record to hit the central european nation was let's go to another model minimal. and if we live in the error of global warming, and one condition for tornadoes like this is hot and humid air, these conditions here are very common nowadays. the police have good and off the entire street. and soldiers have been deployed to help with the clean up with support from the czech republic neighbors, austria and slovakia. that only the trees were falling down, roads were blocked. i can't go home. many people living here have lost their homes and some their lives. now emergency teams are working to find those still trapped

laura, but none the audi 0 still had an algebra, a blood test that can detect more than 50 types of cancer, much earlier, including ones that are difficult to diagnose. uncontrolled over concrete critics, a new pathways at one of the world's ancient tourist attractions. a step too far? ah ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by kettle airways. the rains not really concentrated in the band that you might expect this time of the year. this is the season rain band pretty well broken up. now it will be enhanced as championed up towards japan the next couple of days. but in the immediate future, say south bay, the range really concentrated around beijing or just to the east and in the southern china or up towards the yangtze valley. that is,

is pretty well scattered thunder. so there is a flash starting that's not a real concentrated effort. it might be rather more like that with a miserable day on in shanghai on sunday. and it's later on sunday or monday, the champion engages was the seasonal range gives particularly wet time to tokyo. i would think that south of all ways when you think it should be dry season, really. certainly it's not supposed to be wet season, but the widespread shower. and one reason is because the eastern in the nation is it woven, it should be in hansing. the potential rainfall now be realized in java and in sumatra and all the way up towards the bay bang goal. obviously the monsoon rains assure themselves so fairly wet, dry seasons amendment and for india itself, the concentration heavy rains in the eastern northeast. it's still dry in new delhi and in pakistan. sponsor cut on airways.

no place inside gone was se press retreated to the car about a media hub and vital vantage point during the 1st truly televised war from the roof. we could see the declaration at the american embassy, where the most iconic images of the conflict of vietnam were transmitted to the world. this was the front row seat to the final stages of the war saigon, caravel, a new episode of war hotels on al jazeera. ah, ah ah, what does it remind them until 259 people are still unaccounted for a day after the partial collapse of a 12 story apartment building in the u. s. state of florida. at least 4 people died

in the collapse, but it's expected. the tool is going to bind former u. s. police officers that ensure one is due to be sentenced in the coming hours for the murder of george floyd das. here she was convicted in april after kneeling on slides neck for 9 and a half minutes. for con, prosecutors say shocked. the nation i just states will keep around 650 of its troops in afghanistan after the rest of its forces are withdrawn in response to the cannibal, exclusively told to 0 if us to, to do remain. it will be in breach of agreement. senate has the right to react us vice president common harris has arrived in texas on her 1st visit to the border with mexico since taking office. harris is meeting border patrol stuff and local leaders. she's really efforts to address the root causes of migration and she's been under pressure to visit the border. the u. s. is experienced a rise in the rivals of life grants,

mostly from central america. thought to save bay encountered $180000.00 people last month. well, rob reynolds is live for a site. they are rob, just talk us through what company is trying to do with this visit. well, i think she said she was operating on a number of different level. some are public relations, some are political. she spent some time at the border patrol station that you can see behind me here in el paso while she was there. she spoke to a border patrol agents, staff, hire officials from the agency, which recently had its, its long time head pointed under the trumpet, ministration. resigned with a new head of border patrol coming in the she also reportedly, according to staff, talk through several young girls from central america. they showed her some

drawings, they made some artwork, and they talked to the vice president about what they wanted to do when they grew up. harris is now making an unscheduled trip to the border itself to the the real ground, the, the el paso del north de international bridge. one of the busiest crossing points between the united states and mexico, where thousands of people pass back and forth each day. so she will be at the actual border itself, and we'll wait to see what if any remarks she may make there. but arriving in el paso earlier today, she said that in her view, after visiting central america and speaking to people and officials there, she formed the view which is shared by many that the root causes for the surge in migration from central america are due to violence ramp and get gang violence in

countries like contours in guatemala, as well as domestic violence as well. simple, unrelenting, grinding poverty that makes it very, very difficult for families to put food on their table. there is a significant political subtext to the choice of el paso, for the harris border visited with here in el paso, in in 2017 that the trump administration 1st began enforcing it's very controversial, highly criticized family separation policy, literally ripping children away from their parents and and subsequently, much difficulty in trying to re unite those families that efforts still going on today. so harris is trying to showcase the contrast between those harsh trump era policies and what the bike whitehouse likes to say is it's more humane approach

and sort brennan's reporting for us from el paso in texas. well, thanks a lot friends, presidency. manual macro has warned against an east west to divide within the european union and follow the summit in brussels where eastern european leaders rejected a franco. german proposal to hold talks with the russian president, poland, and bolted countries, had voice concern about what they called moscow's aggressions. and set a summit would send the wrong message. we are right now in a negative spiral, and we need to brace for further downturn. so we agreed to push back. when russia targets the european union on what we stands for when it violates human rights. to constrain russia when it attempts to undermine our interests, and we will engage russia when it is in our interest to do so to achieve our goals . for example, if we talk about climate change or if we talk about public health and the occupied

was buying, the funeral procession has been held for an outspoken critic of palestinian president mahmoud abbas. hundreds of mourners gathered in hebron many calling on the bus to resign. these out a bonnet died on thursday after being arrested and beaten by palestinian authority security forces stephanie decker as more from the funeral inhabitant on the occupied west bank. i can tell you that people here are incredibly angry at the palestinian authority. you'll probably see some of the men in the crowd with guns, the people telling us that basically they're now calling the downfall of the regime . these are chance they've also been calling for as they carried the body through the streets at hebron to the cemetery. here for present mahmoud abbas to go. he's been in charge for a very long time in developing an authority. the cancellation of election to counsel those in april elections hasn't been held here for 15 years. this is one of the main criticisms that the people here and also the activists that was killed his

response to when those elections were cancelled, was to call on the european union stop funding to the palestinian authority saying they were corrupt. i think the leadership had to go that fresh elections had to be held. so this is the sense really from everyone we have been speaking to. you can probably, selena, can you get those? i know, you know, a lot of our men now we're looking among the crowds. this is a sensitive people. they say we are under a double occupation. it's the privacy authority. they accused of being hand in hand with israel. i speaking to an elderly gentleman. he said, you know, this is the 1st time in my life that i actually see our own security forces coming into a policy at home and beating someone to death because they don't agree with our policies . china has approved a government reshuffle in hong kong and what critics say will further type and basing security crackdown on the territory. please chief chris time will become security secretary, while his predecessor john lee, has been promoted to chief secretary. is the 1st person from

a policing background to assume the office. since hong kong was hand it was china, 1997, skyrocketing fuel prices in india are driving up the cost of food and other basic goods. inflation rate has now passed the crucial 6 percent threshold set by the countries central bank. elizabeth put on them has more from new delhi 12 year old shelba cook flat bread for her family on a fire made of wood and dried cow dung. her mother sony urns just over $3.00 a day when she gets work in the vegetable farms that surround their home. but she says they can't afford to buy gas for cooking. as they bought them was guilty. it's done. but the day that it's really hard right now to take care of my family prices are going up lentils, a $1.30 kilo who's going to eat that. we don't buy anything to eat and we only eat the vegetables which grow in the fields and don't buy anything else because of the rising prices. how to go about on the price of essential items has been increasing

in india during the past year. cooking oil by 30 percent fruits and vegetables by 12 percent and lentils by 10 percent. and that has had a big impact in the country with average income as the equivalent of about $5.00 a day. one reason for the higher price of food is the cost transportation value. i know you'll be always $1.00 to $2.00 groups or not for the poor because their prices are skyrocketing and even vegetables. people buy hossa kilo instead of one saves a lot while expenses are high. meanwhile, the fuel prices are already broken. the backs of the poor the government has increased fuel prices up to 50 times this year, leading to protests earlier this month. on average and indian spends nearly a 5th of their daily wages on fuel and the other places race which reflects the increase from the price of the gotten services. what's the point 3 percent in may,

that is above the 6 percent threshold set by the bank of india. economists say the rise of the price of food is more worrying than that of fuel. this great off for prices going up is going to get good, much worse, in which case is to have a devastating effect on the open for particular and some of the who particularly those who are in non agricultural activities and who actually buy the food rather than get them in the government distribute for fashioned to the poor, but the health doesn't reach everyone. sony says she doesn't have the ration card that's necessary to get the food. her children, including 9 year old, got him, are only attending classes because of the kindness of a few young people who are teaching for free. sony wants sure, but to learn to cook and clean and case her free education stops. and she'll have

to find work. elizabeth koran m al jazeera new denny around supreme leader on how many has received a dose of iran's 1st locally made covered 1900 vaccine. how many called the development point of national pride trials over covered on about a cut began in december. the supreme leader has outlawed the use of vaccines made in the u. s. and the u. k. a study has found that a blood test to detect more than 50 types of cancer is accurate enough to be used by doctors. it was developed by the u. s. company grail, it looked specifically for chemicals that leak from tumors into the bloodstream. you can identify cancers that are usually difficult to diagnose, particularly in the early stages like head and neck, ovarian and pancreatic. scientists find the test correctly. detective counselors in 51.5 percent of cases often before any signs or symptoms appeared, is a finding kansas alley is one of the strongest ways of beating the disease and they

say the test could have a profound impact. dr. eric klein is chairman of the click when you're a logical and kimmy institute at cleveland clinic on 1st offer on the research he's optimistic about what the test means for the future of cancer treatment. this is a whole new way of screenings for cancer. currently we screen for individual cancers like prostate breast, colon cancer. this would allow screening for multiple cancers in a single drop. currently, i understand that group has made it available just in the united states or and out of pocket cost of $949.00. but eventually i could see it being used worldwide. this test will not find every cancer. on the other hand, the value here is that it will find a lot of cancer is for which we have no screen currently. so we'll find a lot of cancer. so we don't find now head neck, pancreatic ovarian. those are cancer is that generally presented advanced stages when patients are symptomatic and the burden of cures high,

the amount of treatment needed to tie in the car. it's not very good. so if you look across the entire cancer spectrum, it's true for virtually ever cancer the sooner you detect, if you earlier, you detect it the easier it is to cure, the more likely it is to be curable. so this test will detect many more cancers than are currently detected. now it really are stages and the hope is that that will translate into better survival. archaeologists and historians are divided about new concrete pathways for tourists and one of the world's most important monuments. some say they devastate the acropolis in greece, but as john survey for those reports from athens, the work aims to restore what it originally looked like. the acropolis in athens receives thousands of visitors a day. they climb cobblestone puffs built in the 1950s to reach the open space at the top. and here they are now met with a broad pathway that takes them to the temple of athena, known as the parthenon. this pathway of poured concrete was laid down in the past

few months and it has outraged many seasons visitors who say its breadth and the material it's made of disrespect the site. but those we spoke to liked it, but i thought that well they do have, they wasn't sort of it didn't feel like it wasn't in place, but it didn't fit in. you didn't really notice that as like an ice or anything like that. the critics suspect the new perfectly aims to further commercialize the site by catering to a big increase in the number of tourists from cruise ships. my knowledge got us is in charge of restoration work at the acropolis. he says he's merely restoring the path to what it used to be in the medallion by nothing down and been during the great part of the night festival, 10000 athenians a day. we're able to enter through this gateway. that's what it was designed for. we simply restore it to, to inertia when i took over the restoration, marcia, i realize this was something that couldn't go on. it wasn't the number of visitors

who had access that concerned me. mainly under the day they deserve to see what was here, rather than some idea restored. 950 s in the concrete park where corresponds to the width of the original entrance to the acropolis for the past 20 years entering and departing visitors have been confined to narrow wooden walkway, which uses only one of 5 ancient doorways. but in classical antiquity all fine for use similar tenuously and the ultimate plan is to restore access through all of them. grooved stones left exposed, serve as clear evidence. this was the path original width, and the concrete is easily removed because it sits on plastic sheeting that protects the bedrock. perhaps, most importantly, the new pathways a part of the plan to enable people with disabilities to access the site. and a new elevator now makes this possible use numbers from the em as ever. we've been talking about disabled access to the acropolis since the 2004 will mpeg. so now we

can say that any disabled person in the world who wants to visit the acropolis can now do so. this broadening of access is still a work in progress. once the gateway is restored, a grand staircase will be 2. it was only half built before a war stopped work 25 centuries ago. only then says the man in charge of the project will people understand the acropolis as it was designed by its original architect. jobs are open to us, al jazeera athens. ah, this is always a favor. these are the top stories, 159 people are still unaccounted for a day after the partial collapse of a 12 story apartment building in the u. s. state of florida. at least 4 people died in the collapse but it's expected the tall move rise. i want to be very clear about the numbers.
